MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX) (OTC: MAXXF) (FRANKFURT: 89N) announced that an independent petrophysical evaluation by GLJ Ltd. identified multiple prospective natural hydrogen and helium target zones at the company's Bracken exploration well in Saskatchewan. The well is located approximately 325 kilometers southwest of the Lawson discovery, which represents Canada's first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling.
The findings support MAX Power's basin-scale geological model and reinforce plans to begin a comprehensive completion and testing program at Bracken in the second half of July, alongside commercial validation drilling at Lawson. The company stated that Bracken is the first step-out test from Lawson and has demonstrated geological characteristics similar to the discovery well, strengthening the potential for a broader regional natural hydrogen system.
GLJ's analysis confirmed multiple priority testing intervals spanning the Precambrian basement through Devonian formations. MAX Power aims to evaluate the scale, continuity, and commercial potential of stacked natural hydrogen and helium reservoirs across its 750-square-kilometer Grasslands Project. The company has built dominant district-scale land positions across Saskatchewan with approximately 1.3 million acres (521,000 hectares) of permits covering prime exploration ground prospective for large-volume accumulations of natural hydrogen.
MAX Power is an innovative mineral and energy exploration company focused on the shift to decarbonization. The company's Lawson Discovery near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, represents Canada's first-ever subsurface natural hydrogen system confirmed through deep drilling, with data validated by three independent labs. MAX Power also holds a portfolio of properties in the United States and Canada focused on critical minerals, highlighted by a 2024 diamond drilling discovery at the Willcox Playa Lithium Project in southeast Arizona.
The company is committed to responsible exploration and development practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, meaningful community engagement, and strong corporate governance.
